Bigoted attacks on trans participation in sports and access to bathrooms outrageously rely on “ticking-bomb” rhetoric.
, so the assumption that trans people are violent predators seeking opportunities to harm women is categorically untrue.
For transphobes, the “common sense” that underpins their arguments is the logic of binary gender as a fixed and unchangeable characteristic: The idea that biological sex is permanently binary, and that trans people are, therefore, a kind of unnatural aberration that should not exist. Our complacency, these scenarios imply, means that dangerous, infiltrating predators are at liberty to harm our vulnerable people. There are serious consequences for those who disagree, too. If you critique the ticking-bomb scenario, then you are positioned as defending terrorists and endorsing the murder of innocent civilians. If you defend trans people, you are positioned by TERFs as someone who defends groomers, pedophiles and sexual predators.
